Freaknik: The Musical
Freaknik: The Musical is an American animated musical television special produced by T-Pain. It features the voice of T-Pain as the Ghost of Freaknik. Other entertainers providing voices include Lil Wayne, Young Cash, Snoop Dogg, Sophia Fresh, and Rick Ross, and comedians such as Andy Samberg and Charlie Murphy.
In March 2010, it was shown on the Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim. The musical is based on the actual music festival of the same name that used to take place in Atlanta, Georgia.
A soundtrack was released by Jive Records and Nappy Boy Entertainment in April 2010. The 49-minute uncut version of Freaknik: The Musical has been released on DVD and other forms of home media.
The film starts at a party, that a group of young adults (Christopher "Kid" Reid and Affion Crockett) claim is the best party that they've ever attended. An elderly man, (Lil Jon), joins the party and explains the history of Freaknik. He tells them that Freaknik threw the biggest party of all time, until it was broken up by the police in 1998. He claims the police "killed" Freaknik. Kid n' Play tries to convince them that Freaknik is an urban legend like Candyman, but as Play looks in the mirror, they are eaten by a swarm of wasps. The group is then led by the old man in summoning Freaknik, who appears as the Ghost of Freaknik Past (T-Pain).
The scene changes to a radio announcer named Mr. Thanksgiving (DJ Drama), who interviews Freaknik. Mr. Thanksgiving and Freaknik explain that a rapping contest will be held, the victor of which will get "a lifetime supply of money, clothes, and hoes". The scene changes to the bedroom of Virgil (Young Cash), Big Uzi (Rick Ross), and Light Skin (CeeLo Green), collectively known as the Sweet Tea Mobsters, a group of young adult rappers from Sweet Tea, Florida, who hope to achieve fame. The group decides to drive to Atlanta to participate in the contest, along with their weed-smoking (and supplying) friend Doela Man (DJ Pooh).
During their journey, Light Skin tells of a secret society of African Americans called the Boule, fraternity parlance for "a council of noblemen", that seeks to guide the course of Black culture. The members of this organization are parodies of Oprah Winfrey, Al Sharpton (Charlie Murphy), Bill Cosby (Kel Mitchell), Russell Simmons (Affion Crockett), O. J. Simpson, and Jesse Jackson. They wear medallions inscribed "10%", an allusion to the W. E. B. Du Bois essay The Talented Tenth, which says that a class of exceptional members of the Black race will rise to lead it.
The Sweet Tea Mobsters make a number of pit stops, including a detour at a college fraternity party where they meet two alcoholic fraternity members (Bill Hader and Andy Samberg). While Virgil is fueling the gas tank, a car, inhabited by four sexy-looking women (Sophia Fresh) named Leacosia (Crystal), Toprameneesha (Skye), Obamaniqua (Cole Rose), and Suzie (Crystal), arrives. He tried to refuse their enticements, but the girls beg in song, with Leacosia giving Virgil a kiss in the form of a gun. He accepts.
Meanwhile, Freaknik meets Rev. Sharpton, who tried to force him to work for the Boule. The plan fails, as Freaknik says that he will "never, ever turn his back on his own people". He escorts Sharpton out, via a trapdoor.
